Carolina Mustard Barbecue Sauce

Print this Recipe

U.S.A.

Tomato- or ketchup-based barbecue sauces rule most parts of the country. But in the southern part of North Carolina (and in a few parts of South Carolina and Florida), barbecue simply isn’t barbecue unless it’s served with a bright yellow sauce made from mustard, honey, and vinegar. If you haven’t grown up with such a sauce, the very notion might seem revolting. But even if you come from tomato sauce country, mustard barbecue sauce quickly becomes addictive.

Tradition calls for using inexpensive ballpark-style mustard and you’ll certainly be in good company if you use this kind of mustard. But I like the sharper, more refined flavor of Dijon mustard-particularly an "old-fashioned style" mustard imported from France. Look for the words à l’ancienne on the label.


   1/2 cup mustard of choice
   1/2 cup honey
   1/4 cup light brown sugar
   1/4 cup white vinegar, distilled
   Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste


1. Combine the mustard, honey, sugar, and vinegar in a nonreactive saucepan and whisk to mix. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook gently, uncovered, until richly flavored, about 5 minutes, whisking from time to time. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.

2. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm or at room temperature. The sauce will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for several weeks.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups
